R410--NDNQI BPA - National Nursing Quality Indicators Database Access and Reporting Services [VA-26-00056186]

The Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Nursing Service, intends to award a sole source purchase order for National Nursing Quality Indicators Database Access and Reporting Services. The selected contractor will provide access to a nationally recognized nursing quality indicators database, enabling healthcare organizations to measure nurse-sensitive quality indicators. The database will support national benchmarking, system-level reporting, and targeted workforce interventions to improve patient safety and nurse retention across VA Medical Centers. Key features of the database include core indicators such as nursing care hours per patient day, patient days, hospital-acquired infections, falls data, pressure injury data, annual nurse satisfaction survey, nursing turnover rates, and nurse education and certification tracking. The contractor will provide dashboard access, comparison capabilities, and training and support services. Some key points to consider: • The contractor will provide secure, web-based access to the nursing quality indicators database for authorized users at participating VA facilities. • The database will enable timely benchmarking and support a high-reliability organization model across VHA facilities. • The contractor will provide comparison capabilities among similar facilities for organizational awareness. • The system will not require submission of Protected Health Information (PHI).
